Is that the one with A) Clovis uniting the Visigoths, Bretons, and Burgundians B) Charles Matrel turn back Muslim advance C) Pepin the Short saving the Pope and crushing the Lombards D) Charmangle's conquests? If so I' say the good news first
1.Fairly historically accutate
2.Great Ideas
3.Better than most Campains out there.
Yeah I loved most of it. Ok I'm going to critic land:
1.Tooooooo Easy!
2. Number of "Bugs"
3. Historic Problems (though minor!)
4. Terrian Issues
Now in detail on these three:
1.Tooo Easy
(Note: I played all games on Hardest).Name mostly says it all. In the first senario your enimes are stuck in Fedual, while you can reach for Castle. Bulid enoguh Knights, Cavarly Archers and Long Swordsmen and you're unbeatable, and the surprise treb helped even more.The second? It was easy mostly cuz of a "bug" explained later. The Third needed 35 mintues to complete, but took me 6. but the sieging was very like the first (Build Knights, Cav Archers).The Fourth, well everyone cept Barbarians (Who resigned early and even offered on alliacne) were stuck in Fedual and one didn't even have walls! The game played a lot like the First.
2. Number of "Bugs"
Well they arn't Bugs but the senarios were obviusly not tested. In the second, the Muslim spirtual leader, (archbishop) who you have to drive beyond the Preyeen Moutains, and not kill, goes past the Preyeen Moutians mintues into the senario! and the "helpess villages which need to be defened" mount armies and continously invade. This basically needs more testing and programming.
3. Historic Problems (though minor!)
Well I'm just being nitty picky. Charmangle's Empire ONLY Consited with Modern France and Germany, and most of Italy (the rest of Italy in the south belonning to the Byzantines)
Plus Clovis didn't conquer the Visigoths or Bretons, just pushed back their borders (Even the the hieght of Charmangle's empire, the Bretons regraded Charmangle only noiminally as overlord)
4.Terrian Issues
Simply put, the first and the last senario looked suspicously Random Maps edited. The Second had great terian however, but the terrian looked bland in the Third. Don't let that put you off. Just make your own maps and don't use the Random Map
Final Note:
I mean NO Insults of any kind. As afore-metioned, I loved the campain save those gripes. I would like to see you (the author) improve as you do a good job. As to anyone who does not have the campain, download it! It is worth it
